OK so I have been slacking on PC maintenance and after Sleepwalker suggested I flipped the PSU fan the other day I decided WTF might as well do it now.

I knew my comp has been getting dirty with 2 cats that are shedding and being on the floor I didn’t even want to look but now that I did I'm so relieved.

I am very busy between work, baby, and working on the house so the PC has been low on the totem pole and you can tell.

About a week ago I pulled the cat hair off the front panel and it was covered (I should of cleaned it then) and here is a pic of it a week later.

With the front cover off


Here are a few more exterior views.




Side intake fan

Now some after pics.






Now this is the big stuff I pulled out sort of nasty huh?

(no I did not leave the screwdriver in their last time it's for comparison lol)

And the culprits


Hopefully flipping the PSU will help out as sleepwalker says I hope that in a week or so ill be able to take some after pics and see how bad it is.

As soon as we move ill make some new mesh grills for the other fans like the side panel fan and ill make sure to elevate the comp so its off the floor.

Wow that is one hell of dust!

u have built in fan filters for front intake fans
but u dont have any filters for ur side panel
since you have two cats, i think it is better for you to invest lil money on fan filters
you dont need to put any filters on exhaust fans
but if you get two filters for sidepanels
they should be able to keep most of the dust out

something like this (make sure you get the correct size, i think you have 120mm fans on the panel)
